Mistakes We Made: So You Don't Have To

Описание: Consider this episode your indie author cheat sheet—written in our tears and typos.

We're getting brutally honest about every facepalm-worthy mistake we've made on our self-publishing journey. From launching a book without an email list (rookie move) to spending $500 on a cover that screamed "2003 clipart," we're confessing it all so you can skip straight to the smart decisions.

In this episode, we're covering:

The pricing disasters that cost us actual readers
Why we should've hired a marketing direction
The marketing money we lit on fire
The pen name debacle that still haunts us
The "it's fine, I'll format it myself" incident we'll never speak of again... except right now

Plus, we're sharing the lessons that actually stuck—the pivots that turned things around and the investments that were worth every penny.

Think of us as your indie author guinea pigs. We ate the poison berries so you know which ones to avoid.

Warning: This episode contains strong regrets and the kind of hard-won wisdom you can only get from doing everything wrong first.
